Therapy for Anxiety

You're not falling apart. You're functioning at a high level, meeting your deadlines, showing up for everyone in your life. But underneath all of it, your brain won't stop. The what-ifs. The replaying of conversations. The low-level dread that follows you even on good days.

This is anxiety — and the fact that you're managing doesn't mean you're okay. It means you're working twice as hard as everyone around you just to feel half as calm.

What anxiety looks like in high-achievers

Anxiety doesn't always look like panic attacks or constant worry. In driven, capable women, it often shows up as:

• Overthinking every decision, email, or conversation long after it's over

• Difficulty relaxing — rest feels lazy, unearned, or just impossible

• People-pleasing and saying yes when you desperately want to say no

• Perfectionism that keeps the bar just out of reach no matter how much you do

• A physical sense of tension — tight shoulders, headaches, a stomach that's always slightly off

• The sneaking feeling that you're one mistake away from everything falling apart

If any of this sounds familiar, you're not broken. You've developed a set of responses that made sense at some point — and now they're running the show in ways that are costing you.

What anxiety therapy with me looks like

Anxiety therapy isn't about learning to think more positively or breathe your way through panic. It's about understanding what's underneath the anxiety — where it came from, what it's protecting you from, and why it's still showing up even when you're objectively safe.

In our sessions, we'll use a combination of approaches tailored to what you're dealing with. That might include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift the thought patterns keeping you stuck, EMDR to process the experiences that are still fueling the anxiety, and somatic work to help your nervous system actually learn that it's safe to relax.

I work with clients who are tired of being told to just "manage" their anxiety — and are ready to actually understand it and change it. My approach is direct, warm, and grounded in what actually works. No toxic positivity, no generic advice.

What to expect when getting started

01

Free 15-minute consult call — We'll talk briefly about what's bringing you in, answer any questions you have, and figure out together whether we're a good fit. No commitment, no pressure.

02

First session: getting the full picture — Your first session is about me understanding your history, your patterns, and what you're hoping to change. We'll start mapping out what's going on and what we want to work toward together.

03

Ongoing weekly sessions — Most clients start with weekly 45-minute sessions. We'll build real momentum early on, then adjust the pace as things shift. You'll have tools to use between sessions, not just in the room.

04

Real, lasting change — Anxiety therapy isn't forever. The goal is to get you to a place where you have genuine ease — not just better coping strategies — and you don't need weekly therapy to feel okay.

Is anxiety therapy right for you?

It might be a good fit if you're dealing with high-functioning anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism, people-pleasing, social anxiety, or a generalized sense of dread that won't quit. I see clients in person in Flatiron, Manhattan and virtually anywhere in New York State.
